Spaulding High Class of 2014 sets pink flamingos on the loose

ROCHESTER — Flamingo season is upon us and is open through Saturday, June 22. A pink flamingo fundraiser is under way for Spaulding High’s Class of 2014.

The basic idea of this fundraiser involves deploying a flock of pink plastic flamingos in a participant’s front yard or outside a business entrance. A note is left explaining that they have been selected to be “flocked” for a good cause.

For a small donation individuals can arrange to “flock” a friend or unsuspecting neighbor. Personalized messages can also be arranged such as birthday wishes, anniversary and graduations. The flock will be delivered by members of the class and will remain on the property for two days, when they will then be removed by the Class and transported to their next flocking location.

The cost to send a flock of flamingos varies. A small flock (10 flamingos) is $10, a large flock of 18 is $15 and for $25 you can send a supersize flock of 36 flamingos. Any questions about flamingo flocking or to make arrangements to flock-a-friend please send an email to hoyt.d@rochesterschools.com and put “Flamingos” in the subject line.

Proceeds from this fundraiser will help support senior activities for the SHS Class of 2014.

In addition, an individual may purchase anti-flocking Insurance to prevent being flocked. The cost of this insurance premium is $10.
